Feldkamp gets new prison term

COLDWATER — Former Allen resident Aaron Feldkamp, 29, will go back to prison after taking a car from a convenience store July 7 in Quincy.

Branch County Circuit Court Judge Bill O’Grady sentenced him to two to five years for auto theft.

Ashley Wyant had parked her 2003 Chevrolet Impala outside the store — with it’s engine running — to go in and make a quick purchase.

Feldkamp was seen on security video getting in and driving away. The car was found in a parking lot the next day.

"I had no idea what I was doing. It was a drug-induced action," Feldkamp admitted.

When he was arrested he was also charged with possession of controlled drugs and will serve a year concurrent time for the use.

Judge O’Grady told Feldkamp, "You have no intention of complying with the rules of probation or society." He ordered him to pay $500 restitution for items taken from the stolen car.

Feldkamp was paroled in March 2012 from a one to four-year 2011 sentence for possession of controlled drugs in St. Joseph County and a two to 10-year 2008 sentence for larceny from Ottawa County. He had cut his tether, absconded from parole and headed back to Hillsdale County.
